[AccessD] Manipulating Excel Cells

Glad you got it working. BTW if you want to "see" numbers go
<tools><options><general> and check R1C1 reference style. The spreadsheet
column headings will become numbers.

Jim,

When you look in a spreadsheet you do not "SEE" column numbers, you see
letters.  I have columns e through CM or something like that.  For some odd
reason Z is not used, az,bz etc.  No se por que.  

So what I was looking for (and found) was a syntax for using column letters
instead of the silly cell(31,29).  What column is 29?  What "number" is
column BA?  Why do we "see" a column letter but address the cell with 31,22?
And of course I know the answer to the last, so that they can be manipulated
with counters in code, but in this case I have a column LETTER, not a column
NUMBER.

worksheet.Range(strRange)

is the answer.  I can use a string "B3" using that syntax.
